Neural network
What is Neural network?
A computational model loosely inspired by biological neurons, consisting of layers of interconnected nodes that process and transform inputs. The foundational architecture of modern machine learning. Deep neural networks — with many layers — power virtually all current frontier AI systems.
Example in practice
When an AI correctly identifies a product defect in a factory camera feed, it is applying a deep neural network that learned to recognize defect patterns from thousands of labelled training images.
